Federal Government ready to “Recognise” Indigenous languages (but it’s kinda old news)

Fully (sic) 2013-03-15

Summary:

There was a bit of hoo-hah in Parliament House this week when Julia, Tony and co. made a minor song and dance about constitutional recognition for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their languages. Greg Dickson writes that it's good news but actually kinda old news... with shiny branding. He explains the recommendations and the clever work that was done by the expert panel over twelve months ago.
